whitehexagon game

[WhiteHexagon]

So some great news that I wanted to share with you all. As many of you know I've been working very (very) slowly towards writing a small Java based video game based around plastic building bricks. Well finally I've reached a position where I can now work full time on the project!! So although there hasn't been much progress so far, I'm hoping that within the next few months I'll be able to get this game off the ground properly, and start implementing some of the great ideas some of you have already given me.

Anyway I'll post again when I have something more to show, the current version is a bit buggy, and I will try to fix those bugs first of all.

Thanks all for your support and encouragement so far, and I look forward to welcoming you all to a new release of the game world soon.

Cheers

Peter

Sounds very interesting.... good luck with your project!

Update: We have a new build in place which fixes some of the bugs in the previous version, and also adds a few new features!! (and possibly a few new bugs...). We really appreciate people helping to test, if you already have an account, your current login details should still work. Otherwise feel free to sign up, it's free :)

known problems:

We have a backup strategy running on the server that causes the game to freeze for a couple of minutes, every 15mins. We are looking at solutions for this but decided keeping the data safe was the initially priority. If the game appears to freeze, just leave it alone for a couple of minutes and hopefully things will work again.

The user interface seems to have a few issues between OSX and Windows. Busy trying to find common solutions for these. If anyone can test on other platforms, please email some feedback!

Tip:

If you design any blueprints, you can also export them for safe keeping. We are also working on a way to trade blueprints with other players.

Anyway, give a try and we appreciate any feedback, positive or negative. What you see is about 10% of what we are planning, so stay tuned for more content soon.

Cheers

Just to let you know I've created a demo account, so you can try without registering :)

The account stays active for 5 mins at a time to allow other people to play. If you can't login on the 1st attempt, then please wait and try again a few minutes later. This will avoid the account getting blocked. I'm planning to add a tutorial very soon because I know the interface is a bit poor at the moment. If you select the character, you can find a small button on the left hand side is enabled, that allows you to move the minifig around. The blueprint editing should be fully functional now, and some small customisation of the minifig. If you like what you see, then please register and I'll do my best to keep improving things although suggestions are always welcome.
